Good to see you are passing down your passion for Mopars to your daughter! We need to keep the old Mopar flame alive with our kids. The GTS looks to be close to its first cruise, nicely done

Thanks. She is a little careless with screwdrivers around the new paint but she like to help. It's fun for her and me.

Some more stuff done. Year one emblems suck so bad, don't buy them. They don't sit flush and bend if you slightly touch them. Myserteous dent and chip that came with my car after a $1000 in polishing. Also burned through the paint on my trunk lip. I need a clip for the drivers door lock the one that holds the door lock to the door U shaped. I also need some of the larger holed sheet metal nuts that hold on the hood bezel/callouts. Anyone have some?

Did the bodyshop polish it?

Nope the shop that did my car quoted me $9500 and then tried to charge me 24K. I had the BAR investigate and they said he has no case and no paperwork. I didn't pay that amount. Now he is sending me demand letters. So lets just say we had a falling out. I had another guy polish it.

That dent! Crap. I suppose a good paint guy can do a spot job on it.

Top guy scratched my vinyl top. Window guys finally came and needed the experienced guy to help so that didn't get done today. One thing after another.

Sometimes shyt happens, but that's a whole lot of it in one shot. Take a break and let Murphy find someone else to play with.

Windows are in finally. They need to come back with the sealant and put the chrome on. Almost there though.
